Will my hair grow back after an accident that caused a deep gash on my scalp? (Photo)

August 14, 2015
Asked By:wilson.fed in Denver, CO

I had a car accident two weeks back where my head hit the steering wheel causing a deep gash on my head. It bled a lot but after it healed on its own, I pulled out the scab accidentally which pulled out a bunch of hair. The photos taken were 2 weeks after the accident. I am worried if any hair will ever grow back? What should I do? Should I wait for a couple months to see if hair grows back, or should I consider some kind of treatment/surgery for hair regrowth? I don't have male pattern baldness
